iPhone 8: announcement date set!

iPhone 8: we got a date!

September 12 folks! Set your calendars…

The internet is abuzz as we finally got a date for the iPhone 8! Read on to know more! The day we’ve all been waiting for! Apple officially announced that September 12 is the Keynote 2017 for (presumably) the iPhone 7S/ 7S Plus and iPhone 8 (or whatever it will be called).

Other dates to remember?

With September 12 being right on the money, Mashable hypothesized this will be the timeline based on Apple’s previous launches:

Sept. 15 – Preorders will start

Sept. 19 – first reviews of the new iPhones will come out

Sept. 20 – iOS 11 will be available for download

Sept. 22. – iPhone 7S and 7S Plus will go on sale (the new Apple watch too should it be announced in the Keynote)

What about the iPhone 8?

The same site reports that Apple might say it will be available “later this fall”, howeverBGR says otherwise. They’re claiming it will run alongside the 7S/7S Plus as it’s the only way it’ll hit its target revenue for the month.

Where will it be held?

There were previous talks that if construction won’t finish in time, they may opt for the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco where previous iPhone events were held.

OK, is the price really $1,000 for the iPhone 8??

No official word yet. But current rumor has it that the 64GB Capacity could start at $999. Then go as high as $1,199. We at Tech Armor totally understand that this may bring about a huge dent into your wallet. Even if you choose the possible iPhone 7S/ 7S Plus, that’s still quite a huge amount and that kind of large investment deserves the utmost protection. Good news is we’ve got the just what you need!
